    I had a similar incident here yesterday, I caught the under gardener chopping off the flowers of my Salvias, "well, they will be dying soon, so it doesn't matter does it"? Grrrrrrrrrr.

    Oh Obelixx!!! To bed with no supper and on leaf-raking duty for the duration of the autumn!!!

    I shall make him build me a permanent, dedicated raised bed for the next lot of artichokes Dove.  Maybe then he'll pay attention!

    NEVER allow the undergardener to form an opinion.  Their  ignorance is your bliss 
    In London. Keen but lazy.

    Tooth ache keeping me up again. Luckily not my teeth though :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    Bloody hell and swear words!! The under gardener has pulled up the globe artichokes. 

    Planted last spring, left to grow and mature tho they were already producing some nice heads and stunning purple flowers and the b****r's pulled them up to make way for my onions.

    Steaming. 
    Is that cooking instructions or state of mind? :D:D

    My sympathies to the toothache suffer, @wild edges . Been there, done that, got the dentist's bill.
    Has a second early night last night and am almost back to normal, well what passes as normal for me.....
    Allotment Boy, you spoke too soon, there were a couple of fireworks let off round here last night, my little curmudgeonly devil was stirred.  >:)

    KT - mind.   He can build me a permanent asparagus bed too and no doubt, when I go to replace the globe artichokes next year, other goodies will jump into the trolley.

    Hope all toothaches clear up or get treated.  Not nice.

    No fireworks here but we do have hunters with guns.  If they're about we have to keep the dogs on the lead to keep them safe.  Neiter looks remotely like a roe deer, wild boar or pheasant but I was "warned" by Belgian hunters that they were fair game.

    That makes me grumpy.
